I talk about my mom a lot.
Nice. I prefer to throw pebbles and small rocks at women until they notice me, then i start giggling uncontrollably and jogging away while hiding my face in my hands. As of yet i have never failed to get a response from this.
I dont really flirt, but i’ve had women flirt with me. Usually they seem to just laugh at your jokes, to maintain eye contact a second too long, to play with their hair, to laugh a little when something sexually inappropriate is said, stuff like that.
I have a combination approach. It’s pretty much gently making fun of the ‘object’ (Read: victim) and a lot of innuendo…
Giraffe, that is hilarious!
BWAHAHAHAHA
I’m not giving out any of MY secrets. But I will point out that the guy who said something about “flirting like you don’t care if you get laid.” is definately on the right track. Oh and the one who said something about “like a third grader”, there’s something to that too… No, really I’m not shitting you.
If you really want to learn what to do… study women, watch them closely, watch every move, ask them questions. Then move to a different town and apply what you’ve learned Most importantly, don’t be a wuss. Women can smell a wuss a mile away.
Isn’t that what Axe is for?
No, that just makes you an even stinkier wuss.
Check…check…check…
I would agree with the idea of being yourself. I say don’t ever flirt. Flirting is doing the exact opposite of being yourself. Be someone who listens, who asks how they are feeling? The “silent bob” style is always good if you can pull it off. Also if you show that you aren’t 100% interested they will try harder to get you to be interested. They do the work for you. Get a girl interested in me is as easy as ignoring them politely.
Mind you, I don’t have a g/f. In fact looking back at my love life… …i want to cry.
“HI, My name is NorwegianBlue and I am an Incurable Flirt”
For most of my life I have been considered an introvert. I guess for the most part I still am, but I do flirt. My Wife see’s it for what it’s worth, and is amused by it. Since she see’s both sides of my social behavior I guess she realizes it’s about the closest to being a social creature as I get. I have “crowd-phobia” So I don’t do well in nightclubs or other crowded social gatherings. But say, at my local Starbucks, or at work, I’m in my element, so if I get an opportunity to make a flirtatious comment, I let it fly.
One example at work was when a woman I work with saw me opening a pack of M&Ms and said “That looks yummy!” to which I replied, “Yeah the candy is good too!” We both got a laugh and it was harmless fun.
I don’t flirt with total strangers on the drop of a hat. For me I think of flirting as social behavior with someone you know and admire. I keep it casual and friendly, but not too friendly. I am, after all, happily married.
I just stand in the corner licking my eyebrows…
I don’t know… some people might find this witty.
That was me and you may be correct. I seem to have enchanted someone lately with my fondness for paste and my skills with safety scissors and construction paper.
The world is a *weird * place.
For me, there’s not much difference between flirting and just interacting positively with someone I know. I make fun of them, pinch, bite, & hit them playfully, basically just fuck with them every chance I get, grinning & laughing all the while… it seems to work, at least on the kind of guys I’d be interested in (sarcastic, masculine, laid-back but socially inclined fellows). Of course this would probably come off as annoying if I hadn’t at least established an amicable relationship with them beforehand; I’d never act like this with someone I had never met or spoken to.
I think the reason it’s received well is that it’s what comes naturally to me and people pick up on that-- if you’re doing stuff that isn’t you, you’re going to be all nervous & shifty, and no one’s attracted to that. You want to be confident, and in your element, and seem like you’ve got your own shit goin’ on and life’s good, which you’re not going to be able to do if you’re acting out or suppressing instincts.
Suckily.
It’s one advantage of being married now.
“Say, are you about a size 14?”
I’ll tell you what though, if you’re “chummy” with a girl, rubbing the backs of their knees, massage like, works a real treat. A friend-girl I know loved it when I did it. Of course she ended up going out with my best so it wasn’t 100% foolproof.
I hold no grudge against my friend, the two of them were totally meant to be together and everyone realised that. Can’t blame a guy for trying though
What doesn’t work:
Me: “Hi you’re looking receptive, and judging from your body language now would be a good time to make a symbolic display of strength. Can I help you get the lid off that beer?”.
Girl: “Fuck off.”.
What works:
Girl: “Want a chip?”.
Me: “Yeah, thanks!”.
There’s a beautiful Phipina girl that works at the local video rental chain.I was standing in line with a buddy, when it came time to check out, I turned my attention to her, looked her directly in the eyes and said “kamastu ka?” Thats Tagalog for “Hello how are you?” IIRC that is.
At that point she giggled, smiled the brightest smile. She was stammering her words and fumbling with the movie.
She blushed/smiled when I kept my gaze. She managed to get out “where did you learn that?” , “a friend” I sez.We held each others gaze as she was handing me the movie, both of us smiling (well, she was giggling) the whole time.
We got outside, my friend sez:“holy shit! she’s sprung! go get her number!”
My point is, don’t be afraid to hold a flirty gaze. I used to look away every time. Just remember, there’s a fine line betwix a psycho and flirty stare. Oh IMHO it has to be a mutual gaze, and she must be smiling…
Well, I was looking at some pictures with a really beautiful girl who I joke and flirt with all the time. A picture of her came along, and she looked really good in it, so I said the first thing that came to mind, “Wow, you look really…uh, F*ckalicious in that picture!”. She laughed.
She thinks I’m a freak anyways, no use disappointing.
I’ve always been partial to the don’t-make-eye-contact-at-any-cost-and-be-as-witty-as-a-tree-stump-but-think-of-a-hundred-and-one-hysterically-funny-and-witty-replies-as-soon-as-he-leaves approach.
Hasn’t worked yet but I’m expecting some spectacular results any day now…
